BUSINESS BITS. 
The great sale of Hood Farm Jersey 
cattle and Berkshire swine on June 11-12 
will be conducted in the fairest way. This 
is no sale of culls. Any cow in the yard 
will be sold provided the bidder will start 
at a price at which cows of equally good 
breeding have been sold. 
As an insecticide, Paragrene seems to 
be doing satisfactory work. Prof. L. H. 
Bailey writes the manufacturer on Febru¬ 
ary 21, 1902, as follows: “Send me with 
bill 50 pounds of Paragrene for use on my 
own farm during the coming season. We 
used it last year with very good results.” 
The manufacturer is Fred L. Lavanburg, 
100 William St., New York. 
The family washing Is more Irksome 
during the heated season than any other 
time during the year. Just look into the 
merits of the Syracuse Easy Washer at 
this time. It must be a good one, and 
all the manufacturers claim for it, or 
they could not afford to give 30 days’ trial 
as they offer to do. Dodge & Zuile, 539 
S. Clinton St., Syracuse, N. Y., are the 
manufacturers. Write them before the 
next wash-day. 
Prof. M. V. Slingerland, Entomologist 
Cornell University Experiment Station, 
Ithaca, N. Y., writes to Bowker Insecticide 
Co., Boston, Mass.: “I have used your in¬ 
secticides and combined insecticides and 
fungicides, and found them very effective. It 
is delightfully convenient to have the ma¬ 
terial all mixed, ‘on tap,’ so to speak. 
I did not see that the mixtures deteriorated 
after the packages were opened. There¬ 
fore I am entirely satisfied and delighted 
with the materials, and shall recommend 
their use.” 
The primary object of Rippley’s Fly Re¬ 
mover, as is indicated by the name, is as 
a repellant of flies from animals, and 
particularly milch cows. The Rippley 
people have solved the problem in a most 
satisfactory way. By sprinkling or 
spraying the animal with a solution of 
the Fly Remover, she is entirely rid of 
the troublesome fly. An increased flow 
of milk is the result. One gallon is said 
to be sufficient for spraying 500 cows. It 
is non-poisonous and is also possessed of 
healing properties. Write for free book 
to Rippley Hardware Co., Grafton, Ill. 
A victory that interests all owners of 
live stock has been won by the famous 
Chloro-Naptholeum Dip. A census of the 
experiment stations shows a unanimous 
endorsement of the makers’ claims for 
Chloro-Naptholeum Dip, as dip, disin¬ 
fectant and general preventive, and cure 
for the diseases of live stock. In addi¬ 
tion to this their proved statement is that 
no breeder who has ever used Chloro- 
Naptholeum Dip for killing ticks, curing 
mange or any other of its hundred uses 
has ever complained that it is not effec¬ 
tive. The testimony of such, prominent - 
experiment stations as Raleigh, N. C.; 
Blacksburg, Va.; Experiment, Ga.; Brook¬ 
ings, S. D.; and others is on file at their 
offices and open for inspection at all 
times. Write to West Disinfecting Co., 
4 E. 59th St., New York, for their books, 
“Sheep and Cattle Diseases” and “Swine 
Diseases.” They are sent free. 
Onions and Celery. 
Much has been written about the fa¬ 
mous bog meadows at Chester, one of the 
great centers of onion growing in Orange 
Co., N. Y. The acreage of onions is fully 
up to average; the season has been back¬ 
ward, being dry and cold up to May 22, 
yet the stand of onions on most of the 
farms is very good. The present pros¬ 
pects for an average crop are good; of 
course the final results will be largely 
governed by the weather. The principal 
growers and owners of these lands are 
very much interested and trying to re j 
construct the soil. They are now experi¬ 
menting with lime and the use of fertil¬ 
izers containing high per cents of nitro¬ 
gen, phosphoric acid and potash. They 
have also tried the rotation of crops to 
some extent. I believe they will succeed 
far enough this year to encourage further 
effort and will eventually succeed in pro¬ 
ducing yields equal to those obtained in 
what has been called the “palmy days on 
the bog.” The good crops and the high 
prices for the past two years have im¬ 
proved very much the financial conditions 
of both the grower and shipper. By May 
24 the general prospects were much im¬ 
proved by two good rains. Edwin King, 
of Chester, has demonstrated that fine 
celery can be produced on these lands. 
This Spring Samuel Deutch, of New York 
City, rented a small onion farm, on which 
he purposes to plant several acres of this 
vegetable. J. W. Fagan, of New Jersey, 
will also make extensive trials in grow¬ 
ing celery near Chester this season. The 
general results may change these well- 
known bogs from onion fields to celery 
plantations. e. j. h. 
Eggs and Poultry by Express. 
1 have never had an egg reported 
broken in all that I have shipped during 
the 10 years I have been in the poultry 
business. I had one box of 30 eggs lost 
in the express last year, and the company 
settled in full for them without much de¬ 
lay. They seemed willing to do the right 
thing in the matter. E. h. watson. 
Caro, Mich. 
I have never had any trouble in regard 
to breakage of eggs. I have shipped as 
far as the State of Washington west, 
south to .the Carolinas. The American 
Express Company once smashed a coop 
containing a Game stag and ruined the 
bird, which they paid me for after some 
loud talk, and to prevent the commence¬ 
ment of a suit to collect it. This one case 
is the only trouble I have had in 20 years’ 
breeding and shipping of birds and eggs. 
New Hartford, N. Y. w. e. cifford. 
I have been buying eggs for hatching 
for the last 13 years, and in that time I 
have received one package only in which 
no eggs were broken, and they were well- 
packed eggs, all of them. “Do I find 
transportation companies willing to set¬ 
tle?” You must be joking. Did you ever 
hear of an express company that was 
willing to settle? You can make all the 
claims you may like; they will send them 
in, and you may inquire as often as you 
like, and agents will tell you they have 
not heard anything from them. This 
has been my experience. I have had birds 
smothered in transit, and have yet to 
hear from them. That was nine years 
ago. They are probably still considering 
my claim. Express companies seem to 
think that anyone who has money enough 
to buy fancy stock or eggs is an easy 
mark, and they act accordingly. If they 
would only handle the stock and eggs 
carefully it would be all right. But 
roughly to handle It and charge exorbi¬ 
tant rates is enough to discourage a 
great many budding fanciers.

The Sign of a Watch Case 
This Keystone is the identifying sign of 
the best watch case made—no matter what’ 
it costs. It stands for worth and wear— 
for beauty equal to an all-gold case, at a 
much smaller price. The 
MS. BOSS 
Stiffened GOLD 
Watch Case' 
is better protection than a solid gold 
case, because of its stiffness and 
strength. Better than any other case, , 
because it will last for 25 years with¬ 
out wearing thin or losing its beauty. 
A reputation of 50 years proves the 
value of the Jaa. Boss Case.
